As the dust slowly settled, everyone was astonished to find that Claude was actually kneeling before Jared.
At that moment, a smile still lingered on Jared’s face.
In Claude’s eyes, there was a mix of shock and reverence. The fighting spirit he had just moments ago had completely vanished from his body. He was kneeling before Jared with the utmost respect.
This scene left all the cultivators utterly confused, their faces filled with confusion, completely clueless about what had just transpired.
With a voice so soft only he could probably hear it, Claude looked at Jared and asked, “А-Are you truly a Draconian? Are you from Golden Dragon clan?”
At that moment, Claude was overwhelmed with countless doubts and astonishment.
The reason he kneeled before Jared was not out of his own volition. It was the sheer force of the Power of Dragons Jared had just released that left him utterly astounded.
That overwhelming presence made him unconsciously kneel down in an instant.
Just moments ago, he had revealed his main body, planning to utilize a trace of the draconic energy he had cultivated from his own body to stun Jared.
Yet, suddenly, a flash emerged from Jared’s draconic essence on his chest, and draconic energy, thousands and millions of times stronger than what he had previously cultivated, erupted.
In that fleeting moment, Claude even saw a Golden Dragon spiraling behind Jared. Instantly, the sliver of draconic energy that he had painstakingly cultivated within himself vanished out of sheer fright.
Claude fell to his knees directly before Jared, his eyes filled with utter astonishment.
At that moment, Jared said to Claude in the tone of an elder, “Cultivation isn’t easy, but since you’ve already harnessed draconic energy, you must be close to transforming into a dragon. Treasure this opportunity!”
Claude was prostrate on the ground, expressing his heartfelt obedience, saying, “I will heed your teachings diligently!”
Claude’s emotions shifted from shock to excitement as Jared’s words implied that his life was no longer in danger.
Moreover, if he could win over Jared and gain the assistance of a true Draconian, it would be of immense help to his own transformation into a dragon.
Ricky watched the scene before him, a slight frown creasing his brow.
He wasn’t entirely sure about what had just transpired, let alone why Claude suddenly became extremely respectful, even going as far as kneeling before Jared.
At that moment, a guard shouted out loud, “Time’s up! Everyone, back to your cell!”
After hearing that, Jared turned and headed toward the prison cell. He was in no rush to uncover the secrets of the ancient tree.
Other cultivators also followed closely behind Jared, with numerous cultivators rushing over, all trying to ingratiate themselves with Jared.
Upon seeing the situation, Ezio didn’t leave Jared’s side for even a step, exuding an air of arrogance.
After all, within the entire prison, he was the only one who had a close relationship with Jared. All the other cultivators would surely be envious of him.
Meanwhile, Claude was prostrate on the ground, waiting until Jared’s figure had completely disappeared from view. Only then did Claude dare to slowly rise from the ground.
Upon returning to the prison cell, Ezio asked Jared curiously, “Brother-in-law, what just happened? Why did Claude suddenly kneel before you?”
He had outright called Jared his brother-in-law. He was no longer the guy who had been suspecting that Jared was toying with his sister.
“What’s with that form of address? Who do you think you are, claiming to be my brother-in-law?” Jared hurriedly responded.
“Is that form of address wrong? You are my brother-in-law, no? Rest assured, once we get out of here, if my sister decides not to be with you, I’ll disown her. Let me tell you something. My sister is actually quite wonderful. She’s beautiful, elegant, and dignified. Most importantly, she’s still a virgin! You could marry my sister, and that won’t stop you from pursuing other women. After all, plenty of men have dual cultivation partners!”
At that moment, Ezio only wanted to establish a relationship with Jared.
After all, Jared’s performance was more than enough to prove that he wasn’t just an ordinary cultivator. There was undoubtedly a powerful force backing him up.
Upon hearing Ezio’s words, Jared couldn’t help but give a wry smile. It seemed that Ezio’s imprisonment was no miscarriage of justice.
This guy might have actually forced himself on that female cultivator!
